Mladic's death leaves Bosnia and Serbia's historical reckoning unfinished

The death of war criminal Ratko Mladic has not closed a dark chapter of European history but rather reopened old wounds, as the ideology that produced him remains alive. The Dayton Peace Agreement ended the war in Bosnia but did not resolve the deeper divisions that caused it. Bosnia and Serbia still face an unfinished reckoning with the legacy of the 1990s conflict.
